Join us for an inspired conversation with Carmita Semaan '04, Founder and President of Surge Institute. Her own leadership journey began in corporate America with an operations role with Procter & Gamble; however corporate could not contain her desire to lead high-impact initiatives benefitting urban youth and transforming urban communities – so she blazed a trail within the nonprofit sector. Learn how she clarified what she wanted, took some risks and made it happen.

Carmita's commitment to empowering our country's most underserved youth led to a decade of executive service, driving results for visionary leaders including Alma Powell, Gen. Colin Powell and former US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Academy for Urban School Leadership, Marwen, and America's Promise Alliance. Carmita received the Chicago Business Journal's 2016 Woman of Influence award.

Lunch will be served. Women only.

Sponsored by the Kellogg Women's Leadership Initiative. Co-sponsored with WBA.
